Zellhausen is a district of Mainhausen , a municipality in the Offenbach district in southern Hesse, near Aschaffenburg .
history
In the 7th century, the outlying cell church , which was consecrated to St. George , was probably a mission station for Irish-Scottish missionaries. The fortifications surrounding the church were probably abandoned in the 13th century. The church existed until 1816.
The Schlösschen house is connected to a nearby desert, the Zellerhof . Both settlements burned down in the Middle Ages. According to legend, the residents of the Zellerhof and those of the houses in Schlösschen built a new settlement, using the names of both previous villages when giving their names. This is how Zellhausen arose, and 1329 is documented as "Cellhusen". The "Husen" settlement, which is connected to the castle, was first mentioned in 1238. Excavations carried out in 1829 uncovered foundations and pavement. It could have been a fortified tower with surrounding buildings.
In 1329 the place was first mentioned as Celhusen . The Seligenstadt monastery owns two farms here.

After secularization in 1803, Zellhausen von Kurmainz came to Hesse. It was not until 1874 that the (arch) diocese of Mainz granted the place the status of its own parish. After the previous branch church from 1783 had become too small, the necessary financial resources were raised at the beginning of the 20th century to build their own parish church in 1903 , which was consecrated to St. Wendelinus in 1904 after completion . On October 1, 1908, the Zellhausen stop at the Odenwaldbahn was put into operation, in 1931 the staff withdrew and replaced by a railway agency .
